Sale/leasebacks of property are sophisticated real estate transactions where both seller/tenant and investor/landlord can obtain substantial financial, tax and operating benefits. The property owner builds or buys a property it intends to use for its own purposes, sells it to an investor, and then immediately leases it back from the investor for a term of years. Properly structured, the seller/tenant can harvest equity from a building while still using it or finance construction on favorable terms and obtain tax benefits. The investor/landlord can also obtain substantial financial and tax benefits. However, if the transactions are not properly structured, there is a substantial risk of adverse financial and tax consequences, nullifying all economic benefits. This program will provide you with a practical guide to understanding the economics of sale/leaseback transactions, properly structuring these deals, and drafting trips to avoid traps.
